I hate watching Gameplay... (Gaming)

I'd like to do that.

NB4 inevitable "I like to watch" joke.

Like I told Bones, watching Gameplay tells you very little about a game other than art and story. To really get a feel for the game, such as flow, controls, combat, and movement, you gotta play it. Some games can have great-looking gameplay, but it can turn out to be terrible if you were only watching someone who has mastered it (Dark Souls comes to mind).

Contrary-wise, a game with great gameplay (like Destiny) can look extremely boring if you're not behind the wheel...

Also it gets weird. When playing Destiny, I lower my weapons for a fraction of a second to glance at my radar. It's completely seamless for me while playing, but when watching gameplay of my footage, it just looks like I spaz for a bit and can't make out anything on my radar. Weird stuff!

Tried playing Bones', but his Upload speed wouldn't allow me to play for some raisin, though he could play Borderlands pretty smoothly.
